[Red Mansion + Xiuxian] Perfect match

On this day, Ahzhu finally failed to return to the Lin family. She and Lin Lang were placed to live in the Yikun Palace by the emperor. The Yikun Palace is not open on weekdays and is only used to arrange for ministers on special days The wife and daughter live there, so there is nothing wrong with this approach.

Azhu was afraid that her parents would be worried, but right now there is no suitable person to send her a message outside the palace, so she felt a little depressed, and she thought that Lin Lang had said something to the emperor, so when she saw her, she became a bit angry , It's just that this is the palace, she dare not ask casually.

Lin Lang had just been canonized as a princess today, and the excitement hadn't subsided yet. He kept pulling Azhu and asking questions, which made her unhappy for a while, and his expression immediately showed, "Isn't it just a princess, are you happy? What is it?"

Lin Lang's face turned pale immediately, but Caiyue, the court lady who had just been transferred to her by the emperor, was not happy, and immediately supported her new master, "Miss Azhu is too presumptuous even if she is the princess' sister. Your Highness the Princess was appointed by His Majesty personally, and although Miss Azhu is Lord Lin's daughter, she is only white, if His Highness sues the Emperor, she will have to be punished!"

Azhu laughed angrily immediately, her eyes fell on Lin Lang's face coldly, "Eldest sister, are you going to complain to His Majesty?"

Lin Lang was startled by the cold eyes and shook his head desperately, "I...how could I..."

Caiyue was even more dissatisfied when she saw that her master was so weak, "Your Highness, don't be afraid of her. You were originally a dragon girl, but now you are a princess. Although Miss Azhu is your younger sister, she is just a servant in front of you." female……"

"Stop it, stop it!" Lin Lang hurriedly tugged Caiyue to shut her up, "I'm a little thirsty, go and make a cup of hot tea for this princess!"

Seeing the master's order, Caiyue had no choice but to stop her harsh words and ran to make tea for Lin Lang.

Azhu looked surprised, "It doesn't mean that people in the palace are very good at judging people's faces, Caiyue's temperament is also strange, could it be that she just entered the palace?"

Lin Lang's other personal court lady, Ju Xiang, smiled and explained to A Zhu, "Returning to Miss Lin, Caiyue did not enter the palace not long ago. She used to be a sanitation maid of the Department of Punishment, but now she has such an honor from His Highness." It’s good to go, I think I’m a little excited.”

"Department of Punishment?" Ah Zhu asked curiously, "Where is that place?"

Ju Xiang looked a little hesitant, but she finally answered, "I'm afraid that His Highness and the girl's ears will be polluted, and I'm mainly responsible for criminals in the palace, mainly by the Punishment Department."

In short, it is a place dedicated to punishing people. Could it be that Caiyue is used to such a great truth in her mouth.

In contrast, Juxiang had much better eyesight. Although Lin Lang was named a princess, she felt that this girl Azhu was more important to His Majesty. What's more, although Lin Lang was a princess, she was the daughter of the Lin family. If he went with her family, he would have to live in the Lin family. If he offended the beloved daughter of the Lin family so easily, he might not have a good life in the future.

As for the emperor's plan to build a princess mansion, but the princess mansion is usually lived in after the princess gets married, Lin Lang can't live in it in the short term.

There were four court ladies around Lin Lang, but except for Caiyue and Juxiang, the other two were a little taciturn, although they couldn't fault their appearance, they looked a little too honest, although they didn't know whether they were honest or not. To be honest, on the surface they looked inferior to the maidservants of the Lin family, so Azhu was a little displeased, but after all they were sent by the emperor, and they also had the intention of monitoring, even if Azhu was dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do about it.

Seeing these maids, Azhu felt a little upset, and couldn't help but go outside Yikun Palace to get some air. The emperor is the one who loves plums, so there are many wintersweets planted in each palace. Almost across the distance of the entire harem.

Different from the green calyx in Azhu Linglong Pavilion, the plum blossoms in this palace are all pink wintersweet, which also has a different taste. She broke off a branch and played with it in her hand. When she turned around slightly, she saw a corner of the plum branch sticking out. In the black brocade robe, I couldn't help but take a look there...

"Ninth Prince... Your Highness..."

The person standing on the other side of the plum branch is none other than Ninth Prince Qu Chu. He is taller than the ones he saw before, and he has a more masculine look. He is wearing a thorn gold satin robe of the same color as before, but with a different pattern. The red tassels on both cheeks were replaced by cyan-purple beaded pendant flower tassels, and her facial features were still as good-looking as before, and she was looking at her with a smile, with a friendly look between her brows and eyes.

He asked softly, "Azhu, have you entered the palace?"

A Zhu tilted her head, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness is here to look for me?"

Qu Chu just smiled and said nothing, the two looked at each other for a long time, Azhu finally sighed and asked, "Your Highness left in a hurry and forgot to ask, what is the purpose of you giving me those things? And where did you get them?" here?"

"If you want to give it to me, then you will. Why do you ask so many questions?" Qu Chu didn't answer honestly, but started Tai Chi with Ah Zhu instead.

Azhu just glared at him and said, "Since that's the case, we have nothing to say, I'm going back..."

"Wait!" Qu Chu hurriedly took a step forward, grabbed Azhu's hand, "Let me see you again."

"You..." Azhu suddenly lost her breath. Even if she didn't understand what Qu Chu meant before, there is nothing she doesn't understand now, but she is only four years old now, and she has such a peacock figure, and she doesn't know the Ninth Prince How did you catch your eye.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself!" Ah Zhu gritted her teeth and said angrily.

Qu Chu teased with a cheerful face, "Don't worry, this hall is always very heavy."

Azhu couldn't break free from her own hand, and immediately kicked towards him. Unexpectedly, Qu Chu's figure was very flexible, and she avoided it very precisely, and even pulled her into her arms , holding her face in both hands, lowered his head and dropped a kiss on her fair and tender cheek.

"Chirp!"

"!!!"

Azhu was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to slap him, but Qu Chu was as nimble as a fish. Before her slap fell, she let her go and quickly moved away from her three meters away. There is still a cynical teasing on his face, but the very obvious rosiness on the ears betrays his nervousness and shyness.

"Sister Azhu, don't be so fierce, I just want to tease you, I didn't expect that sister Azhu is still as cute as before, this hall really loves you!"

Ah Zhu kept rubbing her cheeks, gritted her teeth and said, "You damn... bastard!"

"If I can get the love of sister Azhu, I will admit it even if I am a bastard!"

"Damn it!" A Zhu wanted to scold him, but she didn't know what to scold him. After all, this is the palace, and she didn't dare to make too much trouble. The other party is also a prince after all, if she didn't know what Qu Chu would do to her , she would not be so presumptuous to him.

But... In the end, I still can't get enough of it. I was actually molested by an 11-year-old boy. Ah Zhu said that she has never been rubbed like this.

After being molested by Qu Chu in this way, Ah Zhu returned to Yikun Palace in a very 'sad' mood. At this time, she was not in the mood to appreciate the flowers at all. No matter who greeted her along the way, she just Showing two nostrils towards the other party, let out a heavy sound, "Hmph!"

Such a child's temper can only make people laugh, but I can't bear to blame it.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor couldn't believe it after hearing the report from his hidden guards, "Xiao Jiu really treated Xian...Miss Lin like that?"

The secret guard replied honestly, "Your Majesty, that's true, and Miss Azhu's reaction was a bit unexpected. She wasn't as steady as she said before, but she was more like a normal child."

The emperor nodded, "I see, you go down first and continue to monitor!"

After the hidden guards retreated, the emperor stayed alone in the inner hall and thought carefully. From his expression, he didn't seem to be angry. If the previous emperor's first thought was whether Xiao Jiu had a seizure He wanted to strike at the courtier he valued because of his thoughts, but what he was thinking now was, if Xiao Jiu really got Ah Zhu's heart, would it be more likely for him to seek immortality?

Now that he has brought up the idea of ​​cultivating immortals, he is not as attached to the throne as before. Now he just wants to choose a suitable person from among his sons to inherit the throne.

If he was young, he might think that Jiangshan is more important than seeking immortality, but now that he is old, he has enjoyed all the blessings he should have enjoyed in this life. One day, he naturally didn't want to just wait for death in vain. Although the world said his long live, he would not be so stupid as to really think that he had a long live.

What he can do now is to preserve his wisdom for the rest of his life, and to be praised by the world, so he can go to seek immortality for a long time.

The emperor picked up a pen and wrote down the names of all his sons on the paper. When the name of the prince was mentioned, he felt a little pain. After all, it was the child he raised since he was a child, and he was born after the Yuan Dynasty. Although he made a mistake, But in the end, father and son are connected, and he couldn't bear to see him in such a miserable state, so he only sighed slightly, and finally crossed the crown prince's name.

As for the second and fifth princes, they were all planted in the hands of the Lin family, and their mistakes were not small, so the emperor crossed two more, and the rest are the third and fourth princes. The third prince is a fierce general, although He is heroic and extraordinary, but his actions are unavoidably inappropriate. At present, only the fourth child is more considerate in his actions. Although the emperor is a little displeased by his literati spirit, he has always been courteous to his brothers. He must be the emperor. After the prince life will be better.

The emperor sighed. The rest of the princes were really too young, but when he saw the ninth prince, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. what will happen.

"It's just that Xiao Jiu'er is too young, I can't wait for him to grow up..." the emperor sighed, and finally gave him a cross.

Early the next morning, the emperor ordered the palace people to come to Yikun Palace, saying that he wanted to call Azhu to accompany the emperor to have a meal together, but it was strange that the emperor only announced Azhu, and was rejected when he didn't call. Lin Lang who was named Princess Protector.

However, Lin Lang was relieved when he heard that there was no need for a face saint. After staying in the palace for a while, she really felt very guilty.

Ah Zhu was very calm. Ever since she knew what the emperor wanted to cultivate, she felt that the emperor was someone who could be fooled. She just had to spend a little more lip service, and she wouldn't lose anything anyway.

It wasn't until the palace servants served breakfast that Ah Zhu realized that the emperor was waiting here to deal with her.

A bowl of gruel, it’s really gruel, only rice soup is left, and you can’t pick up half a grain of rice with chopsticks, and a plate of clear water cabbage, it’s really boiled in clear water, without any oily smell Contamination, forgot to say, it hasn't been salted yet...

This is the breakfast, of course, the same is placed in front of the emperor.

Seeing the tangled look on Azhu's face, the emperor immediately smiled, "Why, but I don't like to eat. Didn't Miss Azhu say that porridge and side dishes can show the true heart of a monk, but I have it in mind. From today on, I will We are about to start the test of Miss Azhu."

Azhu couldn't help but twitched her mouth, "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to be so serious, really."

The emperor ignored her, and after the palace servants personally tried the vegetarian dishes, they took gruel and drank it, "Huh? It tastes really good!"

Azhu rolled her eyes secretly, and had no choice but to drink the porridge like the emperor. Since the emperor tried it himself, how could she dislike it, but after she took a sip of the porridge, she found that the taste was really delicious. Yes, the juice of the rice soup is very thick and smooth in the mouth, and even the few grains of rice left are very soft and delicious.

Azhu picked up a cabbage with chopsticks and put it into her mouth in amazement, only to find that the taste of the cabbage was actually good, the leaves were refreshing, although it hadn’t been soaked in oil or water, and no salt was added, it was obviously a good use Chicken broth poured over...

The imperial palace is the imperial palace, and even such a simple meal takes a lot of effort. I think that when the imperial chef heard that the emperor wanted to eat this kind of breakfast, he must have wanted to worry about his gray hair. , but very tasty breakfast.

A smile suddenly appeared on Azhu's face, "So this is the porridge and side dishes His Majesty refers to?"

The emperor immediately frowned and asked Gong Rendao, "What's the matter with today's breakfast, how did you order it? Just use this to perfuse me?"

The emperor got angry, and the frightened palace people knelt on the ground like dumplings, and then the chief eunuch answered with a bitter face, "Your Majesty calm down, the slaves don't know that this will happen, but your majesty must be the body of the emperor, guarantee the body of the dragon!" That's the most important thing, how can I endure this kind of hardship, so...so the imperial chef can only do this..."

Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry and beheaded, Ah Zhu hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty! Your imperial cook is really skilled and you have such ingenuity. You should not be punished, you should be rewarded!"

The emperor heard Azhu's words of persuasion, so that's all. In fact, he was not really angry, but just to see Azhu's attitude.

"Since that's the case, what about what I said before?"

Azhu just shook her head, since she wanted the other party to take the hook, and she was very willing to take the hook, she had to hang his mind and make it impossible for him to get what she wanted. If the other party wanted something, she would take the initiative to send it to her door , Doesn't this seem too lacking in style.

"How can Ah Zhu know about God's decision? It all depends on His Majesty's sincerity?"

The emperor just frowned tightly, neither showing anger nor looking very happy, "I heard that Master Qing Yang is your master?"

Speaking of Daoist Qingyang, Azhu felt a little strange, her master's face was more like a magic stick than her, why the emperor didn't find Daoist Qingyang to seek immortality, but instead found her.

Azhu replied, "Zhen Yang is indeed Azhu's master."

"But, he is not as good as you." The emperor said in an affirmative tone. "I am the Son of Heaven, even if I am looking for a fairy, I still want to find a real fairy."

Ah Zhu was a little surprised, never thought that the old emperor's vision was quite sharp, Master Qing Yang even deceived King Gongyu, but not the emperor.

"How did Your Majesty come to such a conclusion? My master is actually an expert."

The emperor nodded and said, "Real Master Qing Yang is indeed an expert, but he did not become a fairy. This is what Master Yideng told me, and Yideng also told me about your identity."

"Master Yideng?" Ah Zhu frowned, and said with some disdain, "A Buddhist disciple?"

The emperor laughed, "It seems that as Master Yideng said, the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism is not harmonious."

Azhu asked, "Since that is the case, why didn't your majesty go to look for that eminent monk, but Azhu?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "Buddhism emphasizes the naturalness of the Dharma, sacrificing one's life and forgetting oneself, everything has a predestined relationship. Although Master Yideng is an eminent monk, he is not an immortal body. At most, he can only leave some relics for Buddhism after his death. , These are not what I want."

Azhu smiled disdainfully, "How can your majesty be sure that my Taoist school does not pay attention to fate and law. The way is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and people are also big. There are four great things in the domain, and people live in one of them. Human law The earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

After hearing this, the emperor stood up suddenly, then waved his hand, and the palace eunuchs around him dispersed, and then he was surprised to see that the emperor saluted Ah Zhu, who was only four years old. The Taoist ritual that Zhu had done to him before. "I sincerely want to seek the way with the fairy, and I hope that the fairy will not make things difficult for me. If the fairy is worried about the throne behind me, I can abdicate today!"

The emperor mentioned me several times in a row, but he didn't say a single word of "I", which shows that he is very eager to seek the truth.

Azhu also stood up, but she was still young, and she didn't have much momentum even if she stood up, and she was not as tall as sitting on a chair, "Why did your majesty deliberately point out that it was Azhu who made things difficult, not that your majesty was dishonest?" ?”

The old emperor was angered by Ah Zhu, but his endurance was really strong, veins sprouted on his clenched fists, but he still endured it in the end, "Fairy, please explain clearly, what is sincerity?"

Ah Zhu was just trying to whet his appetite, not really shutting the emperor out, so she said indifferently, "The way of heaven loves those who are sincere, and Ah Zhu also loves those who are sincere. This is the way of heaven for honest people." Also, sincerity is the way of people, your Majesty, as a generation of emperors, naturally needs to have a beginning and an end, finish what you should do, what you should do, and then look for Azhu."

The emperor's eyes lit up instantly, "What does the fairy mean?"

Azhu nodded very skillfully and calmly, "What's your full name?"

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't know the emperor's name?The emperor was a little strange, but he still answered him, "Qu Hao."

Ah Zhu asked again, "Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"

The emperor was overjoyed, and stared at A Zhu almost incredulously, "Is what the fairy said true?"

"I never lie." In order to pretend to be aggressive, A Zhu actually imitated the words of the master to fool the emperor. If she was not short at this time, she really wanted to fling her robes and sit on the chair in a very chic way. He is extremely handsome.

The emperor hurriedly bowed to Ah Zhu happily, "Disciple pays homage to master!"

Fortunately, no one else was here, otherwise an old man in his sixties, and this old man is still a pilgrim, bowing down to a four-year-old girl, it would really shock everyone's eyes.

Azhu just nodded her head pretending to be indifferent, and said, "That's great, but the age of the teacher and your status are problems. You and I should be the same as usual. Besides you, the teacher also has a famous disciple. But she is much younger than you, so it is not appropriate for you to call her senior sister, from now on you will be my big disciple!"

Ah Zhu had thought about asking the emperor to call her Senior Sister Huanbi, but she couldn't bear to look at the picture too beautifully, the emperor is still the emperor after all, if he plays him too hard, the result will definitely be unsatisfactory.

However, at the moment, Azhu feels a little happy to be able to accept a generation of emperors as his disciples. Whether he has a destiny of immortality is another matter, and whether he can seek immortality or not is not guaranteed, but this emperor bears the burden of the Great Yu Kingdom. Luck, as long as the dragon veins are continuous and the offspring are prosperous, then Azhu can draw royal luck from it to ensure her own cultivation goes smoothly.
